This recipe is part of 12 days of Feel Good Holidays!

I’m all about enjoying your favorite treats but making them healthier so you feel really freaking good! All the treats are damn delicious and also happen to be gluten-free, dairy-free, refined sugar-free, anti-inflammatory, and mostly vegan.

I started developing these feel-good treats after being diagnosed with Lyme disease. Check out the story and video here!

Happy Holidays, however you choose celebrate!

Sweet and salty perfection.

These Crispy Dates are a crowd favourite for appetizers and dessert! Plus they can be whipped up as an afterthought, with no prep needed and a 10 minute cook time max.

Did you know two dates contain as much Potassium as a banana?

Crispy Dates

Recipe by Arianne JonesCourse: gluten free, dairy free, vegan, no refined sugar

Ingredients

• extra-virgin olive oil *

• dates, pitted 

• flaky sea salt

Directions

• Heat ¼  inch olive oil in a small sauté pan over medium heat.
• Once hot, place the dates in the pan to crisp for a few minutes a side. Turning them once or twice until they’ve warmed through and have a slight crisp to the edges.  Be careful, date sugar is very sensitive to heat and they will burn very easily – don’t over do it. 
• Remove from the dates from the pan and sprinkle with flakey sea salt immediately and serve warm. Enjoy! 
• If you’re making this as a dessert or appetizer usually count 2-4 dates per person

Notes

• *I like using an olive oil with a sharp taste to lend that kick of spicy + grassy flavour to the dates.
